  1. I have used Wise for many years from OZ and, Iike Farma, got the same message from them after a transfer a few months ago. I changed the original BSB account number to the one given in their message and have made several transfers using it since. The message was from Wise and would not appear to be a scam, but you are Wise to be cautious.
  2. KBank app works fine for meh7 in Philippines. As was said earlier make sure you sti ll have access to your profiled phone number for any text mssges.
  3. Most likely someone at a lower level in a govt dept realized when this was first proposed that it would present criminals with an opportunity. Unfortunately Thai culture does not appreciate those who criticize their superiors. They would want to keep quiet about it.
  4. yes, if your overstay is detected at the airport. If it's found out by the police, traffic stop etc then it's arrest and detention with removal to the CDC as happened to him.
  5. Don't pay them if they don't attend, that will increase attendance!
  6. So is it better to give the job to a DEI hire who just makes the Minimum benchmark, or to a non DEI hire who nears the Maximum. As a business man, I know which I would prefer.
  7. My partner and I use Lazada a lot and have generally been happy. However everything electronic we bought has either not worked or packed up after a short time. Lazada has given us a credit each time tho. I would be cautious, read the reviews posted and ask questions of the folks who have bought. Some good price examples posted here with a real shop you can go to with problems, maybe worth a few thousand baht for that.
  8. Isn't the current PM the guy in charge of prosecutions at the time all this occurred? Highly unlikely he wants an inquiry or takes any action in case he is found negligent.
  9. I have used wise to transfer MONEY to my K Bank for many years. I transfer from my local bank to wise, no transfer fee involved. Then I transfer from wise to my KBank? Yes, Wise fees are much higher BUT the exchange rate they give kills the bank. As an example, on a transfer of $A9,800 I am $300 better off with Wise
  10. Nong Nooch has 3 shows a day where tourist interact with the elephants. Picked up by the trunk and the elephant runs, lay down and the elephant steps over them and picked up in a cradle of two elephants trunks. Never read about a bad incident in all my years here.
  11. The countries in ASEAN recognize each other's licences, mine is from the Philippines. Would it be easier to get a new one over the border if you and your girl plan a stay there.?
  12. I have ridden here for 20+ years and the number of locals who do not look before they cross the road is astounding. Is it a Buddha thing, do they believe he, or their amulet will protect them? Why is it so common.
  13. I live a 5 minute walk from the police box outside Big C Extra and go past often. I have NEVER seen a cop OUTSIDE the box, tho a bike is parked there. No helmet, 3 on a bike, running the red light, offences by the score every day but no action. So the high road toll is not surprising, they don't really care!
  14. I have never had a problem with my Philippine licence. I would have taken the receipt to the police station where a more knowledgeable officer would most likely cancel it. An email to the Singapore consulate would have been a good step also.
  15. What has changed. You could get 30 days visa free before, now it's 60 days!
